지석묘의 축조와 경관의 역사

Abstract

In this study, first we reviewed the change of the archaeological perspectives on what it is like to be a dolmen, and attempted to interpret the distribution, location, and arrangement of burial facilities of Dolmen groups distributed in Haman Basin. Early Korean archaeologists in the 1930s and 1940s saw dolmens as cultural markers of an chronological period. Since then, dolmens have been regarded as evidence defining a stage of social evolution until the 1980s, but recently, they have been studied from the perspective of identifying them as monuments within a certain landscape. Although the dolmen groups in Haman basin do not overlap with the daily residence, there is a clear tendency to be built in a place not far from the daily residence group. Unlike the adjacent Namgang River valley or the southern coastal basins, a large-scale ritual complex had not been built, and instead, dolmens have been intensively built near the village. The dolmens in Haman are clearly arranged in a row, and it is highly likely to be the result of being arranged along the daily route of the residents. In particular, in the valley bottom plain, which is formed long from north to south, the line of dolmens arranged along the river can be said to be the result of the repeated constructions and rituals for hundreds of years. It is necessary to understand these dolmens as specific places in the landscape. The place where the dolmen were built has community experience and historical narratives, so it has the ability to recall memories. In particular, a place is created through the construction of monument architecture and the burial of objects with a specific meaning, and the materiality of buildings or burial objects accumulates memories of individuals and groups, and historical narratives are recalled for a long time. Since personal and community experiences and memories have been deposited in the dolmen group of Haman Basin, it can be interpreted as a monument that remains as a current material trace as historical narratives have been extended for a long time.
